Hi all.
I am new to pool maintenance and am trying to get my Hayward Max-Flo pump to prime.
I had recently took my Pentair cartridge filter out to clean it. Once I placed it back in, my pump is not able to prime.
I am attempting to fill the pump/ strainer housing with water, but it never fills up all the way.
The water gets drained through the skimmer pipe line.
The pool is filled with water, above 50% of the skimmer. The skimmer basket is clear and cleaned.
I’ve checked the impeller and it’s clear of any debris.
The impeller does seem to spin a little slow when I manually turn it.
What’s happening with the water in my pump/ strainer housing?
Note: my pump is above the water level of my in-ground pool.
See attached pictures.
Thank you in advance!
